Kenneth Allsop (29 January 1920 – 23 May 1973) was a British broadcaster, author and naturalist.[1][2] He was a regular reporter on the BBC current affairs programme Tonight during the 1960s. He also was Rector of Edinburgh University and won the John Llewellyn Rhys Prize. In 1958 he wrote what is widely seen as being the definitive account of 1950s British literature,[citation needed]The Angry Decade, remarkable not only for its content but also for its closing remarks that: "In this technologically triumphant age, when the rockets begin to scream up towards the moon but the human mind seems at an even greater distance, anger has a limited use. Love has a wider application, and it is that which needs describing wherever it can be found so that we may all recognise it and learn its use."
